Actor George Clooney has announced he is endorsing Kamala Harris for president.
President Biden has shown what true leadership is. Hes saving democracy once again. Were all so excited to do whatever we can to support Vice President Harris in her historic quest, the actor said in a statement provided to CNN.
The actor and Democratic donor had penned an op-ed calling on President Joe Biden to exit the race.
In the New York Times opinion piece, Clooney wrote that the Biden he saw during a June 15 fundraiser, which also included former President Barack Obama, was not the Joe big F-ing deal Biden of 2010. He wasnt even the Joe Biden of 2020.
He was the same man we all witnessed at the debate, Clooney added, referencing Bidens faltering and disastrous performance at the June 27 presidential debate on CNN.

I'm obviously not in the know about what he did behind the scenes, but making it a public letter in the NYT was front-stabbing.

(777 posts)You have captured the very essence of what has vexed me. Front-stabbing is very descriptive of what it was.

(24,486 posts)And then when he did what he thought was right in calling for Biden to drop out he was then dead to you and pissy about it. That says much more about you than it does about him. Own it.

(5,567 posts)He took it too far and too personal in a very public way. You dont do that to a friend, much less the President.
He should apologize to Joe in person some day.
